roots

I grew up with Elton John, Styx, Kansas, S. Miller, even stuff like Ohio Players and other funk - and even some punk (I was dating a girl who really dug that stuff). My high school favs were Sabbath, Zeppelin, Queen, Who, Genesis, and especially Tull and Rush.

When I got to college (early 80's), a whole new world opened up. My "conversion" bands were Crimson and Gentle Giant. From there it really just took off, many influences too numerous to mention. I am still especially partial to hard stuff (bands like Iron Maiden) and fusion.

I think Discipline is the album that really blew me away. It was so different.
